“Jeff Oroszco Sr did a great job preparing my father for presentation so I could have my time to say goodbye. He was so kind and even shared with me a personal story that his brother played little league with my father and his brother when they were young. My dad took much pride in his younger years of playing baseball. This really made my last visit with him more special. It would be my father who would have someone recognize him even in his death.”

“Chapel of the Chimes took great care of our family during a very difficult time. Everything went smoothly, and we truly felt supported throughout the services. Nate, Zane, Besh, and Rebecca were all kind, helpful, and attentive, even while being very busy. Ashlin, the funeral director always stayed in touch and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. That extra care really meant a lot to us. We’re very grateful for the compassion shown to our family and for the care they gave my mother. Thank you to everyone at Chapel of the Chimes for being there for us when we needed it most.”

“This place is extremely professional. Our mom passed on Sunday and we called them to arrange for a service and plot...we were given an appointment to meet with Sandy and Mele the day after. Sandy and Mele were very helpful and patient with us throughout the whole process. Sandy speaks Vietnamese and was able to carefully explain everything to my dad and made him feel at ease with the situation. To be honest Sandy helped us more than she knows. The day of the service, Sandy and her team did a tremendous job making sure everything went according to our wishes. Thank you to everyone at The Chapel of the Chimes!”
